BMT? Renting property? I have basic training in about 2 months. I plan on investing in an education. I'm 20 years old. I'll be on active duty.

However, I want to accumulate as much money, on the side, as I can over the next few years. I hear renting out property is one of the best things to do. It seems risky and plus I'm ignorant as to how I would go about it.

Any other ideas or advice?

I want stacks of paper to enter a bank account seperate from my military bank account. =)

I want to be able to support a family 5 years from now. Even if I don't have one. I just want to be able to.
